It was a moment of bipartisan collaboration that brought the world to its feet in honor of the humanitarian leadership of the United States.

Blodgett: Reagan warned against Biden-Harris

As the Biden era begins, most Republicans feel angry, fearful, and/or hopeless. If America’s 40th President were alive, I’m convinced he’d feel the same way. In 1964, Ronald Reagan warned against the very type of leftist actions and policies planned by Biden. The prescient president essentially foresaw the future, and would shudder at Biden’s promise to facilitate “one of the most progressive administrations in American history.” Biden’s consolidation of power, recently reinforced by ‘woke’ Democrats defeating Georgia’s incumbent GOP senators, validate Reagan’s well-founded concerns.
